Syntax

Sql.Database(**server** as text, **database** as text, optional **options** as nullable record) as table

About

Returns a table of SQL tables, views, and stored functions from the SQL Server database database on server server. The port may be optionally specified with the server, separated by a colon or a comma. An optional record parameter, options, may be specified to control the following options:

Query : A native SQL query used to retrieve data. If the query produces multiple result sets, only the first will be returned.

CreateNavigationProperties : A logical (true/false) that sets whether to generate navigation properties on the returned values (default is true).

NavigationPropertyNameGenerator : A function that is used for the creation of names for navigation properties.

MaxDegreeOfParallelism : A number that sets the value of the "maxdop" query clause in the generated SQL query.

CommandTimeout : A duration which controls how long the server-side query is allowed to run before it is canceled. The default value is ten minutes.

ConnectionTimeout : A duration which controls how long to wait before abandoning an attempt to make a connection to the server. The default value is driver-dependent.

HierarchicalNavigation : A logical (true/false) that sets whether to view the tables grouped by their schema names (default is false).

MultiSubnetFailover : A logical (true/false) that sets the value of the "MultiSubnetFailover" property in the connection string (default is false).

UnsafeTypeConversions

The record parameter is specified as [option1 = value1, option2 = value2...] or [Query = "select ..."] for example.
